Established in 1903 by an Act of Parliament, Shipping Federation of Canada (HQ in Montreal with a regional office in Vancouver) represents and promotes the interests of the owners, operators and agents of ships involved in Canada's world trade. The Federation's member companies are involved in all sectors of the shipping industry, including dry bulk, liquid bulk, container and cruise.

The Federation's key activities are to provide advocacy for the ocean shipping industry; offer operational support to its membership; disseminate information to members, governments and the general public; and provide training to members and other industry stakeholders.

The Federation's overall objective is to work towards a safe, efficient, competitive, environmentally sustainable and quality-oriented marine transportation system. An essential element of the Shipping Federation’s mandate is to ensure that members and other maritime industry stakeholders have access to quality training programs on relevant aspects of the commercial shipping industry.
